Hitch for my 940 900

Hi Dave,

You will remember our conversation regarding the traile hitch and its connections.

Today I tried to connect the powered converter below:

https://www.curtmfg.com/part/59496

Then I started the testing with a 12 V bulb while doing the connections.

Everything seems to work:

Left and right turns
Taillights

But I cannot get the stop lights to work, I push my brake on, but the 12V bulb does not light up.

The converter red wire is connected to the PIN #6.(Yellow/brown)

It must be something very stupid I am doing, but no idea what :(

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you!
Alex

P.S.: It was something stupid indeed: me. I was testing using the tailgate connector, while changing the connector to either the left or right turn, the brake light works. This means that the purpose of the converter is to send an individual brake light signal (yellow/brow pin 6)to both turn lights using the red wire.

Sorry to have bothered you Dave.
